I found out about a new musical collaboration today between dance duo radioclit and an east african singer called Esau Mwamwaya. This East African man called Esau Mwamwaya moved to London in 1999 and ran a second hand shop in East London up until recently. The story goes that Radioclit have a studio on the same street and went in to buy a bike. They thought Esau was rad so invited him to a flat-warming party. They realised that he had an amazing voice and decided to work together.
Just now there working on a full length album but they put out a free mixtape/bootleg album. Esau sings over remixed tracks by m.i.a. and that theme from True Romance. It has such a nice feeling to this album. I've been listeing to it all day. It sort of reminds me of "Graceland" by Paul Simon.
You can download it Here
It's definetly worth a listen. They've titled this collaboration The Very Best. And it's probably the very best free album I've ever got legally. It feels so much better when the albums free and you don't have to illegally download it.
